  • glory to Maharashtra  Acrylic painting on canvas 505mm x 405mm Unframed for Home and Office by artist C K Purandare

There was a severe draught in parts of India for the last 4 years. No rains. [Maharashtra is the name of that region, where I come from].
Water management has been disastrous and many small farmers totally dependent only on rains for farming sought huge loans from banks.[Huge amounts for them, a few hundred dollars, really].As there was no chance of their repaying the loans, many committed suicides over the last few months. Ironically, the central Indian minister for Agriculture at the time also comes from the same region.
The horn is a cultural symbol. We, from that region, since the historic times, blow the horn to declare victory. Or mark festivals.
The lettering under the main picture is in my language.
It is a news-item from a local paper -
'190 farmers commit suicides' - dated 1st Aug 2004.
The insignia on the right is three lions - official seal of the Indian government. The lettering under the insignia reads - Minister for Agriculture, Government of India.
The original title is from a historic ballad celebrating Maharashtra.
